City Chick Turns Rural Gurl. Friday, October 21, 2011. Free to Good Home. I tell myself I won't do another animal that is "free to good home".and then I get another animal that I got for free. Well, yesterday I got two for free. We welcome to the farm two rams: a Merino and a Karakul. Rams? On the other side of the fence is all our sheep gals and our Shetland ram Stormy. He and Rufus have been "chatting" through the fence. No damage done to anything, including sheep parts, say Amen! We have been without ...

City Chick Turns Rural Gurl. Saturday, April 9, 2011. Before I started the endeavor of rendering lard, I did a lot of researching across the internet. I even found a few blog entries that discuss how to render lard, so while this may seem redundant to some, it is all new to me! Fresh lard in the vat. The following morning I made my husband cornbread, which I hadn't done for a long while. I toasted some cracklings first (they POP! Which is why they call them cracklings.and that pop of fat can hurt! So now...

City Chick Turns Rural Gurl. Thursday, August 25, 2011. Feed 'em up regular and they get bigger! The Anatolian Shepherd puppies. They are weaned from their mom and have been surprising us- in the most delightful fashion- that they are smart. Probably smarter than we are! We feed them outside in their area. Before the food is put down, however, they all must sit. And they DO! We are beginning to expose them to the chickens. And recently acquired Rouen ducks. Learning that it means "back off Jack!

City Chick Turns Rural Gurl. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Cattle are not going to crowd you or try to force you to give up some cookies. You cannot take for granted that your horses are your best buddies in the whole wide world and would never harm you unintentionally. Launch an opossum through the air and out the chicken coop door with the greatest of ease. When I approach the sheep pen with my stick, I give a clear signal to my young (and learning) Anatolian female that when I say "enough! I think it i...

Living on the farm has given me an appreciation for so many things that I took for granted living in town. I’ve discovered that there are two interconnected aspects to the same coin that is ever flowing Universal energy: the “arrival” and “departure” of life. Sunday, November 21, 2010. It's a Full Moon and We Have a Pile O' Pork! Sunday, November 14, 2010. Kink, Barn Cat Extraordinaire. Kink in da hay.

City Chick Turns Rural Gurl. Friday, September 23, 2011. Dew Be Dew Be Dew. Until recently, it was starting to get pretty crispy here in this part of the country. We had a lot of very hot days coupled with long stretches of zero rain this summer. So it seemed odd that, even with the heat and lack of rain, we still had a lot of green around. (When my husband is in haying mode, he is preoccupied with grass). He looked at me one morning and said. No, 'dew' as in dew on the grass! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

When our Shetland ram Stormy. Has bred our Shetland ewes. Or when our Mulefoot boar Henry. Has bred our Mulefoot sows. Patsy and her new calf! So how do we know when a cow, ewe or sow is close to giving birth? Patsy wins the "first calf of 2012" award! Patsy has given us two other bull calves over the years since we've ha...
